[Ogami]

I can't be like this! If I'm going to boost everyone's spirits without getting insta-gibbed by the combined force of their rage or disgust or self-pity, I've got to come to terms with Ayame-san's death!

[Ogami]

... well, her death and/or demonification, sexification, or whatever the hell's wrong with her.

[Ogami]

Anyway, no more moping around like a wet rag or acting as if Ayame-san's still with us today! I'm grabbing this poo poo by the balls, that's what I'm doing! Forward ho!

KNOCK KNOCK.

[Ogami]

Right, knocking for permission to enter isn't exactly a good first step, here.

[Ogami]

... what the hell am I even doing in her room in the first place?

[Ogami]

Well, it's- it's not like I'm snooping or anything. Ayame-san's gone and all, so I'm just making sure that there aren't any vital clues or plot points or things that I might have missed. Yeah.

[Kohran]

An' mebbe rifle through her drawer of unmentionables for jes' a little bit?

[Ogami]

Yes, and maybe rifle through-

[Ogami]

... I'm going to regret asking this, Kohran, but where the hell is your voice even COMING from?

[Kohran]

Well, let's jes' say that Ayame-han always DID like to keep tabs on everythin' going on in th' theater.

[Ogami]

... really now.

[Kohran]

Yup! Her room's kitted out with more snoopin', spyin', and sneaky sensory thingamabobs than- than-

[Ogami]

... than a thing with a lot of snooping, spying, and sneaky sensory thingamabobs?

[Kohran]

Well, Ah was goin' to go with "the info-gathering apparatuses of most first world countries' governments," but that'll do jes' fine. Anyway, Ah was the one who put it all together, so backdoor access ain't no thing for me.

[Ogami]

Why the hell does Ayame-san of all people need that much super-spy horsepower in her room!?

[Kohran]

Why not? She's th' boss, she can do whatever she darn well pleases.

[Ogami]

No, I mean- don't you guys have enough eyes on me already??

[Kohran]

... Ogami-han, not EVERYTHIN' in this here theater don't revolve just around tormentin' you, ya know.

[Ogami]

Oh. Right, I guess that makes-

[Kohran]

A whole TEN PERCENT of our activities here focus on other things in th' theater! Ain't that somethin'? Betcha can't suppress yer surprise, huh?

[Ogami]

... maybe. Do tears of crushing despair count as surprise? I can't tell anymore.

[Kohran]

Eh, close enough.

----------



In any case, it's ye olde point-and-click examination of the surrounding area! As usual, just about everything has a short blurb behind it...



[Ogami]

The man on the right... his face looks like Sakura-kun's. Is he Colonel Shinguji?
And the Commander hasn't changed at all. ... and there's Ayame-san's in the middle, huh. So there was a time when she could smile like this.


----------
[Kohran]

An' a time when she looked so smokin' hot in a ponytail that you could poach an egg on her stomach and eat it right off her.

[Ogami]

- can we PLEASE dispense with the running commentary on top of my own commentary!?

[Kohran]

Wow, you ain't even complainin' about the whole breach o' privacy thing?

[Ogami]

Well, no, but that's only because I've been living with a dedicated stalker and no less than two people who've put me under constant, slightly terrifying amounts of surveillance. More to the point, I'm going to stop speaking out loud now.

[Kohran]

Tsk. Killjoy.

[Kohran]

"Howdy-ho, Ah'm Ogami! Ah sure do like statin' th' obvious! This here's a window. You can see through it to things on th' other side. This one's really high-quality! Heck, you could even say that-"

"An' these here are flowers! It's gotta be tough for these flowers to grow in a room that doesn't get a whole lotta sunlight, but Ah guess these flowers-"

[Kohran]

[Ogami]

[Kohran]

Well, yer gettin' warmer, Ogami-han.

[Ogami]

... though it's probably because of ALL THE NOISE that's been coming from the drat thing. And the wires.

[Kohran]

DING DING DING! We got us a winner right here, folks! Th' thing's a real beaut, ain't it? Look, it menaces wit' spikes of obsidian! Still, you're right about th' whole "standin' out" thing.

[Kohran]

In fact, y'all could say that it's-

[Ogami]

[Kohran]

Man, yer touchy tonight. Anyway, Ah got this lil' sucker from another dimension, thanks to a little machine that Ah like to call Mr. Dimension Hopper! This cross's got really good workmanship, an' all I had to do was go to some weirdo place where all th' men are short, bearded, an' perpetually angry and/or drunk.

[Ogami]

... Ireland?

[Kohran]

... eh, close enough.

[Ogami]

A-Anyway! Kohran, are you seriously telling me that you ripped a hole through the fabric of space-time to... buy furniture?

[Kohran]

Yup! Don't worry, it's 100% proven safe. Y'know, even for me. More importantly, take a closer look at th' thing, Ogami-han.

[Ogami]

What? I don't see anythi-

[Ogami]

... what the hell, Kohran?

[Kohran]

Ayame-han had been gettin' real paranoid about th' security in her room for some reason, so she's taken to inscribin' the contents of her journals an' documents all over the place.

[Ogami]

And... is it actually an effective security measure?

[Kohran]

Hey, you're th' one standin' in her room an' shamelessly readin' th' contents of her journals, you tell me how secure it is.

[Ogami]

... point taken. Well, it's time to do the only decent thing to do.

----------
[Ogami]

Read 'em.

[Kohran]

Ah didn't expect anythin' less from our esteemed captain!

Stating from the very FIRST option, here-



[KOUMA WAR DOCUMENTATION]

The "Kouma War" is the battle that took place between the Taisho Era's 4th and 7th years, fought against demons known as the "Kouma."
The damage from this war around the Nihonbashi area alone numbered in the tens of thousands of buildings, lands, civilians...
According to internal army estimates, the total cost of all damages is said to have amounted to about 100 million yen.


----------
[Ogami]

... wow, I remember back when the very prospect of 100 million yen's worth of collateral damage was terrifying and, you know-

[Kohran]

Not banal an' mundane?

[Ogami]

Yeah. Where DID it all go wrong?

[Kohran]

When y'all got called in to work here?

[Ogami]

... I was so young and innocent back then...

----------

[KOUMA WAR DOCUMENTATION]

Furthermore, according to military intelligence and historical analysis, the existence of "Kouma" has been verified from as far back as the ancient Warring States period.
"Kouma" are demons that possess living beings and grow by feeding on their negative emotions.
"Kouma" are a lower class of demon; those at the top are highly-developed, higher-class, humanoid Kouma.
The gigantic demon seen in during the "Kouma War" can be seen as a large-scale lower-class Kouma.
Furthermore, in the latter part of the "Kouma War," the individual strike force responsible for forcing the gigantic Kouma back underground-
- nicknamed the "Anti-Kouma Brigade"- suffered one casualty and one unit gone MIA. The brigade was subsequently disbanded.
This brigade's commander was one Lt. General Ikki Yoneda.


----------
[Ogami]

... aaaaand that's filed under "poo poo I've already known for at least the past few months." NEXT!

IMPERIAL ASSAULT FORCE, FLOWER DIVISION - RECORDS

[Ogami]

The Flower Division... this is about us?


[FLOWER DIVISION - RECORD]

04/04 - Clear
Received a report that the Naval Ensign that Count Hanakoji transferred to us, Ichiro Ogami, has arrived at the Ginza base.
The one-year commemoration performance of "The Evening of Hashihime" was a success. With this, the theater's budget should remain stable.

04/05 - Sunny with some clouds
Received information that the Hive of Darkness has appeared in Ueno Park. Drawn out by what was probably the enemy's scouting force, this was the Flower Division's first actual sortie.
According to Commander Yoneda, Ensign Ogami's battle command was "good for a first-timer."


----------
[Ogami]

Really? All HE told me was "you fight like a limp-wristed flower-arranging wussosaurus" and flung an empty sake bottle at me.

[Ogami]

... though on hindsight, it WAS a really high-quality brand of sake.

[Kohran]

Awww, that's jes' his way of showing his love for ya, Ogami-han!

----------

04/12 - A calm and peaceful Japanese sky
Li Kohran is now attached to the Assault Force in Ginza. This was the mission she had been hoping for; she's fired up.
Commander Yoneda has ordered a final maintenance on the battle blimp, the Shogeimaru. Going to the Asakusa Flower Mansion by the Rolling Thunder.


----------
[Kohran]

An' Ah ain't ever stopped bein' fired up! Oh, the things Ah've learned an' the things Ah've seen!

[Ogami]

... oh, the things I've had nightmares about, and the pains I've experienced while under your knife...

[Kohran]

C'mon now, one man's trash is another man's treasure, an' all that!

[Ogami]

I- no, see, that saying REALLY falls apart when we're talking about my internal organs.

[Kohran]

An' some of yer external organs!

[Ogami]

... please don't remind me.

----------

05/13 - Clear
Met Ensign Ogami. A person pretty much as I'd expected, in a sense. I'm sure I can expect a lot from him.
The non-tactile control system has been completed. Completion of Iris' Koubu is drawing near.
The Shogeimaru's first sortie. Total amount of damages in the Flower Mansion's surrounding Asakusa area resulting from emergency launch are incalculable.


----------
[Ogami]

... but not TOO incalculable, given how many more times they launched the drat death contraption.

[Kohran]

That right there's like 50% of th' reason 100 million yen seems like jes' a drop in th' bucket, huh?

[Ogami]

And what the hell did Ayame-san mean by expecting things from me? Wasn't this basically the night she sucked my finger?

[Kohran]

Mebbe she jes' means somethin' like "well, if Ah sucked on his finger a bit, he'd become putty in my hands."

[Kohran]

... or mebbe "putty on my tongue" is 'bout right.

[Ogami]

Ah, the memories of my youth...

[Kohran]

- this written piece of work ain't a lemon or anythin', so keep yer thoughts on th' matter to yerself, okay?

----------

06/09 - Rain
Ensign Ogami was injured in today's battle; nothing major.
Kanna Kirishima has returned from Okinawa.
Maria is acting strange. She's hiding something out of uneasiness. Plan to try discussing with her soon.


----------
[Ogami]

... oh, yeah, "nothing major," she says.

[Kohran]

Well, not compared to th' usual, anyway.

[Ogami]

I guess that's true. And- drat, she really could have saved me a LOT of trouble if she'd actually bothered to talk to Maria.

[Kohran]

Mebbe she just wanted to... y'know-

----------

06/13 - Rain
Commander Yoneda brought before an investigative committee due to Maria's unauthorized individual sortie yesterday.
But it seems that Count Hanakoji and Tadayoshi Kanzaki were doing some work for us in the various military divisions.

06/14 - Clear
Commander Yoneda has returned to Ginza. Doesn't want to talk about what happened before the investigative committee.
Keeping this a secret from all the Flower Division members below Ensign Ogami. Will let Commander Yoneda's drinking habits pass today.


----------
[Kohran]

- watch Yoneda-han squirm a bit.

[Ogami]

Better him than m- I mean, I can't say I'm surprised.

----------

07/06 - Clear
Iris went on a rampage.
Received word from the Army's First Division that if she could not be stopped, they would open fire on her at sundown.
Ended without further incident, thankfully. Should ramp up Iris' rate of training by one level.

07/07 - Clear
Iris' rampage ended up in the "Imperial Capital Daily News." Commander Yoneda in a bad mood.
No summons from the investigative committee this time. To give him pressure from all sides?


----------
[Ogami]

It's a good thing I stopped her.

[Kohran]

'Cause you'd saved a lotta good Army folks' lives, huh?

[Ogami]

... well, more because the bullets and tank shells would only have fueled her rage, making her that much more terrifying when she inevitably cornered me.

[Kohran]

That too, Ah guess. Shame 'bout Robo-Ogami, tho'.

[Ogami]

... Kohran, how different do you suppose things would have gone if I'D gone on that date with Iris while the robot-me stayed behind in the theater?

[Kohran]

... you'd be dead as dirt while we'd have a gently caress-awesome robotic captain!

[Ogami]

Why did I expect any other answer?

----------

08/02 - Cloudy
Received reports from civilians; the first time that we were able to anticipate the Hive of Darkness' attacks before the fact.
The members chosen to investigate Fukagawa Mansion: Ensign Ogami, Sumire, Kanna.

08/03 - Cloudy
Fukagawa investigation complete. Choice of members was a success.
Ensign Ogami achieved a lot.
The enemy who called herself Miroku Hosokawa - Crimson Miroku- what did she mean by their "plan"?


----------
[Ogami]

"Achieved a lot"? ... you know, all I recall was being hurled off a cliff, in my Koubu, by my own drat squadmates.

[Kohran]

W- wait, Ogami-han, wasn't there somethin' else jes' as important? Y'know, like how Kanna an' Sumire-han opened up their hearts to you, an'-

[Ogami]

"Important?" They had the exact same life story with the details switched around a bit.

----------

08/16 - Clear
The understanding between Kohran and the rest of the division's members has deepened. Finally, the Flower Division has become one.
An extended performance of "The Journey to the West" has been decided. Sumire and Kanna's acting and Kohran's stage devices are popular.


----------
[Ogami]

Say, Kohran, whatever happened to those stage devices? You know, from that time you were annoyed that everyone said they could be scrapped after one use.

[Kohran]

They're livin' on in our hearts an' minds!

[Ogami]

... and in about fifty other devices, huh.

[Kohran]

I was being literal.

[Ogami]
(Don't ask don't tell don't ask don't tell don't ask don't-)

----------

09/01 - Clear
The Imperial Assault Force's steam-powered computation devices have succeeded in pinpointing the Hive of Darkness' main base.
However, lately, I've been sensing a bad feeling from the atmosphere.
Hopefully nothing bad will come from it.


----------
[Ogami]

Five months to pin down a base that had a main entrance on a busy street...

[Kohran]

Hey now, it didn't exactly occur to ANYONE to input mail addresses into th' search parameters. Th' hell were we supposed to know they went an' got themselves a mailing address goin' "Hive of Darkness"?

----------

10/10 - Clear
Every day of this past month has been like a storm. The Imperial Capital's facilities have recovered.
Ensign Ogami and the Flower Division are busy preparing for the theater's commemorative return performance.
This time's play is the "The Fiery Hell of the Serpent Woman."

11/23 - Clear
The final day of "Wings" with Kohran as the lead actress; though numerous problems came up during the performance, she did well.
Kohran's always aspired for an airplane. She was collecting parts at the Flower Mansion, bit by bit.

12/31 - Snow
New Year's Eve. A busy year has ended. So much really has happened this past year.
Right now, Ensign Ogami and the Flower Division are listening to "The Departing Year, The Coming Year" on the radio.
May next year be another good year.

01/02 - Clear
What we feared the most has become reality. The Kouma have suddenly appeared.
The demons that had been sealed deep beneath the earth.
"The Kouma War"... that tragedy must not repeat itself a second time.


[Ogami]

... it ends here.


----------
[Kohran]

Actually, there's a bit more on th' back.

[Ogami]

What, you mean like- more documents containing poo poo we already know, or more chronicling of my darkest days, or-

[Ogami]

...

----------

[Ogami]

... what is this...?


[01/01/1924 ~]

01/01 - Clear
The Flower Division has departed to the first shrine visit of the New Year (Hatsumode).
When I'm alone like this, I think of that person.
It's already been six years. Commander Yoneda, Colonel Shinguji, and... that person.
I wonder... how hard I looked for him?
How long have I been waiting for him to return?
I still can't forget... no, I won't forget. My memory of him won't fade.

01/02 - Clear
Aoi Satan. I sense something strange from him. Maybe it's because I fought him somewhere before?
No, that's wrong. I've met that man before. But when and where?
Aoi Satan... the leader of the Kouma. The traitor of the Hive of Darkness. He who sneers at justice.
I don't know. When I try to remember, I feel like my head's about to split.
... I don't know.

01/08 - Clear with snow
Sumire's birthday celebrations. For once, Sumire accepted everyone's blessings in an honest manner.
Sumire's changed quite a bit, along with me and everyone else.
Is this what it means to live?

02/02 - Clear
My headaches are horrible. Commander Yoneda is worrying about me.
Later this afternoon, I'll rest a bit.

02/09 - Rain
Remembered that Kanna is a licensed mariner, so I'm teaching her the controls of the Shogeimaru.
Planning to teach Kohran everything about managing the Flower Mansion branch.
So that they can do it all if I ever end up gone.

02/18 - Rain
When I looked at that photograph tonight, I couldn't stop crying.
That was our first and our last picture.
The Imperial Army's Anti-Kouma Brigade.
Back in a season when everything was brighter.
I can't ever return to those days.

02/22 - Rain
Lately, I've been seeing some strange dreams. Like when I'm looking at myself from the outside, there's something behind me.
What could it be?


[Ogami]

... it ends here.




----------
[Ogami]

And are you seriously telling me she's been going off the deep end for over a month and no one actually noticed?

...

Usually, the thread gets that many replies in that amount of time.

He's finally back,

And this time,
he's goin' to jail!
Yeah, the red haired one is from So Long My Love, but I can't place the other one. Sakura Wars 3, maybe?

THAT'S SPECTACULAR.

Judging by the fact that these characters are the only ones that don't have their names shown, is it safe to assume that they are from other Sakura Wars games?
Yes, but you needn't worry about them because there are better characters in their respective entourages. :colbert:

This confuses me so much. All of these JRPG and fighting game characters and outta no where Frank loving West. :psyduck:

Also the fact that it looks like a Photoshopped picture doesn't help.

Frank West confuses you but Ulala doesn't?

Ulala's covered space wars. Those are way higher-test than regular wars.

Also, is that the first time you can read those notes, or can you sneak in at various other times? This seems like the sort of game where that would happen.

In the old picture, who's that guy on the left next to Ayame? It's hard to tell because anime, but is that Satan?

CSI: Miami parodies still work no matter how many times I see them.

I don't know why, but that picture of Estelle posing next to Frank West just makes me crack up.

I basically don't recognize anyone from that image, but the girl in the red hat next to KOS-MOS seems naggingly familiar. Also, is Ragnite from Fire Emblem or something?

Pretty sure Ragnite was the Fantasy Super Crystal Fuel from the Valkyria Chronicles series.

You're probably thinking of Ragnell.

Or Ragnar, from Dragon Quest IV.

Yeah, Erica something-or-other. Haven't played SW3 at all myself, but I did run across this here...

It was on this day that his greatest enemy defeated, the true lord of darkness arose. His name? MARIO.

I was wondering, most of the games in this mash up did come here in the west so is their a slight chance for this to come statesides? I also saw Capcom USA in the 2nd link so I wonder if that counts for anything.

Love, Justice, and Mid-Season Upgrades Steam-Powered Robots.
Whoop, delaying the next update a few days.

And then the update after THAT will probably be delayed for a little while longer, because we're leaving the country for a few weeks.

MORE INFORMATION FORTHCOMING ONCE I GET STUFF SORTED OUT

You might want to lock the thread while you're out of the county just to be on the safe side. We don't want the mods to do it for you. :ohdear:

Didn't we know why the past times as well?

I mean, almost all of the time SA was delaying the updates because life was kicking his rear end.
At least, that's kinda what I assumed, what with him having law school and all that.

Hereby it is manifest that during the time men live without a common power to keep them all in awe, they are in that condition which is called war; and such a war as is of every man against every man.

So I was reading about the Siberian Intervention (Japanese campaign against the Russian Revolution, cover for Japan's desire to steal the USSR's Pacific coast while it was still in revolutionary chaos) and it turns out the commander was one General...Tachibana. Made me think of our Maria.
